Chain & Sprocket life database part 1
Member's Chain and Sprockets life
As we did for the tyres, it has been suggested to try and keep a similar database log for the life expectancy and performance of our drive kits So here below is a similar template to use, just cut and paste it in a post in this thread once the new drive kits are on and then come back to it when they are worn out and replaced to write down the mileage obtained and other comments: XTX/XTR: DRIVE KIT MAKE / MODEL: DATE FITTED: DATE REPLACED: TOTAL DURATION (in months hopefully): PRICE PAID (with or w/out fitting charge): BOUGHT FROM: TYPICAL RIDING (TOWN/MOTORWAY/COMMUTING/OFF ROAD): MILEAGE WHEN DRIVE KIT FITTED: FINAL MILEAGE AFTER DRIVE KIT IS WORN: TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED: FINAL COMMENTS ON C&S PERFORMANCE: |

DRIVE KIT MAKE / MODEL: O.E.M (Original Equipment) DATE FITTED: From new September '04 DATE REPLACED: TOTAL DURATION (in months hopefully): PRICE PAID (with or w/out fitting charge): N/A BOUGHT FROM: N/A TYPICAL RIDING (TOWN/MOTORWAY/COMMUTING/OFF ROAD): Town/Commuting MILEAGE WHEN DRIVE KIT FITTED: 0 FINAL MILEAGE AFTER DRIVE KIT IS WORN: TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED: Still going strong at 5,500 miles, will report final mileage at changeover FINAL COMMENTS ON C&S PERFORMANCE: I DO NOT have an oiler fitted. I regularly lube the chain with a generic chain lube. The actual O.E.M units are as expected not flash in design but are quiet in operation and to date has given me no hassle.

XTX/XTR:R
DRIVE KIT MAKE / MODEL:OEM TYPICAL RIDING (TOWN/MOTORWAY/COMMUTING/OFF ROAD): All + some racing!!!! TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED:15k miles (front sprocket stripped all its teeth, chain jumped off once and stripped more of the rear teeth, after this the chain had a few suspect links so thought it needed a change. If the chain didnt jump off the sprockets im sure it and the rear would have lasted till around 20kmiles) FINAL COMMENTS ON C&S PERFORMANCE: Not too bad if the chain hadnt jumped off, also the front sprocket just gave up the ghost. Just ordered a new set of BandCexpress but i dont like the look of the hard anoidised rear as it looks more like a cheap auliminmum race sprocket.
